Today is the 172nd Anniversary of the Battle of Barea in modern day South Africa. Colonialism was awful but it allows us to acknowledge the wonderfully named ruler of Lesotho, KING MOSHOESHOE. #history

Wolf Hall is the greatest television drama ever produced, bar none. Impeccable writing, immaculate photography, Vermeerian lighting and, above all, remarkable acting. The BBC sets the standard that the rest the world follows.

someone on Threads was complaining that they got the question "how many ghosts appeared in A Christmas Carol?" at a pub quiz, & answered 4 but were marked as incorrect, with the correct answer given as 3.

Wow. This is incredible. New Zealand's parliament is brought to halt by MPs performing a haka. Opposition party MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke begins the ceremonial group dance after asked whether her party supported controversial bill seeking to reinterpret country's founding treaty with Māori people
